And Happy New Year, too!
I've been reading the forums for about a month, trying to learn enough to ask an intelligent question!
As far as e-readers go, I'm a complete newbie. Thanks to a lot of you folks, though, I'm starting to get a good picture of the world of ebook readers.
And the wiki's E-book_Reader_Matrix is a great resource!
I don't yet have a device. My wife and daughter have decided to get me one as a Christmas gift, but they're leaving it to me to research and choose the reader I think I'll be happiest using. I'm disabled, and in the winter months I tend to get sick a lot. Living in a rural area, I find it's an effort to get down to the nearest village library this time of year.
But I have hundreds of ebooks in various formats saved on my computer over the last several years, and hundreds more available through Project Gutenberg, so what I need is something to read in bed that's easier on the eyes than a computer screen, and I'm good to go!
I'll ask a bunch of questions in the relevant forum sections in the days ahead, but for now I just wanted to introduce myself and wish you all a Happy New Year.
